New Dedicated Quilting Computer

I finally got a pc based computer for my quilting business.  The quilting business program I use is made for pc's and I had to use a program that ran pc programs on my Mac.  I caused everything to run slow on my Mac and took quite a bit of time to switch it from one operating system to the other.  I would put things aside to enter the next time I opened it.  Things would sometimes get misplaced so I think this will make my record keeping more accurate since it's easy to open and enter the information.  Now I have to figure out how to do get around on it!

I have been quilting.  I was finally able to finish this tee shirt quilt for a client.  She was really pleased with the outcome and doesn't know if she can wait to give it to him on his birthday in May.

I've also have been practicing on charity quilts.


I was able to practice using a rope template I used on a client's quilt and play with different motifs in the negative space.

 This was fun!

 Bear Claw Feathers


I really liked this pattern!

 Feathers between feathers.

Triangle feather fill.

More pictures later.

Oh, the other thing I am finally going to be able to do is learn EQ.  I've had it for a few years but have not taken the time to play with it enough to learn it.  My youngest has to have major knee surgery in a few weeks and I'm going to help her out for 3 weeks.  I'm going to take this along to play with it. 

Happy Stitching!
